Three beautiful things happened to me this weekend. In no particular order:
1. As part of the Postal Project, I sent a letter to my favorite professor from Graduate School (well, really- the best teacher I have ever had), and, he wrote me back. For real wrote-be-back. I cherish this.

2. My best friend, Erica (the muse who is too far away)- sent me this. In a folder saying "What can you do with wasp paper from 1954?" REALLY? How beautiful is the concept of one knowing you better than yourself? No, I don't have any particular feeling for wasp paper, though- I am one for challenges, especially unexpected ones. The kind that initiate thought. This paper is absolutely beautiful- beautifully fragile and translucent. It is late here now, and dark. I held it up to a lamp.
3. Have you ever been to a friend appreciation party? It was over the top really. Each person, upon arrival, was presented with their favorite snack and cocktail. Large printed images of you/us on the walls. 'Friend Facts" cheerfully written and posted all over their apartment. Intermission of a beautiful evening consisted of walking to a nearby field and lighting/letting go fire lanterns into the sky. Midst the field experience. each one of us were given a personal note. Here is mine, next to a few Poloroids I took of our gracious hosts of the evening. Amy and C Jason. They are expecting a baby girl in December.
